Abstract

sleep disturbances are common for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) and are of great clinical significance. brain dopamine plays an important role for both adhd symptoms and sleep-wake regulation. we therefore suggest that one basic aspect of integrative brain-behavior relationship such as the sleep-wake cycle may certainly be addressed in a dynamic developmental theory of adhd.
